About Program
New Horizons Preschool is a program of the Batavia Park District that was founded in 1996 to provide young children with the skills and experiences that will help them thrive in Kindergarten and beyond. New Horizons offers a unique experience of providing an opportunity for social and emotional growth through a play-based experience. Building self-esteem and confidence is the base of our curriculum, allowing the children to be successful. This curriculum sets us apart from other area preschools. A typical day may include dress-up, reading books, science experiments, building fun objects, puzzles, crafts and music, plus play time outside on our own playground or indoors in our own gym. Students benefit from these experiences because they gain skills in socialization, fine and large motor skills, as well as cognitive development, plus they have fun while doing it. We nurture independent, creative thinkers. Young 3s Program• For a first away-from-parent experience.• Emphasis on socialization skills.• Pull-ups are allowed in this class only.
